FITTING THE EAR TIPS

M-Audio has included a variety of ear tips to ensure a good seal for your ears. All ears are unique so you will need to determine which tips are most comfortable for you.

Most users ﬁnd that the single-ﬂange silicone ear tips provide a good ﬁt for their ears and are the easiest to use. However, some customers prefer the foam tips for the best seal and more secure ﬁt (see section on Suggestions for Using Ear Tips).

Your M-Audio earphones come with medium single-ﬂange silicone ear tips already attached. Included with your earphones are the following additional ear tips:

①Single-ﬂange silicone ear tips (2 small and 2 large)

②Double-ﬂange silicone ear tips

③Disposable foam ear tips

Attaching the Ear Tips

The ear tips can be attached or removed by using a gentle grasping and twisting motion. The ear tip should ﬁt securely over the ear conductor and— once the ear tip is in place—the ear conductor should not be exposed.

Care and Cleaning of Flanged Silicone Ear Tips

The silicone ear tips are reusable and should be cleaned with an antiseptic wipe after each use. They should also be removed and cleaned regularly with mild soap and water. The ear tip should be completely dry before you place it on the ear conductor.

Care of Foam Ear Tips

The foam ear tips are designed for limited use and should be discarded when they appear discolored.

Connecting to a Listening Device

M-Audio earphones come with an 1/8-inch input plug that is compatible with most personal listening devices. In addition, our optional 1⁄4-inch adapter (included with the IE-20 XB and the IE-30 earphones) will allow you to connect to a variety of other consumer electronics equipment.
